In short: Friendly bunch of runners, well organised event.
In full: A real buzz about this run. A short enough distance to give it a go. A well organised, friendly event with a mix of quality & fun runners. A bit too much of the course follows a dual carridge way, however the remainder is flat & scenic. Will definately be back next year.

In short: Well organised race with marshals all the way round.
In full: Could have been hazardous crossing the roads, but marshals were at all crossings and the motorists seemed to be patient (I wish those at all races were as patient).
Mostly flat and therefore probably PB potential.
A definite for next year.
